WAS DELE ALLI AS BIG A LOSS AS WE THOUGHT?

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Now that we've seen the boy at Euro 2016, is he as big a loss to SE as we thought? I think he is probably more useful to SE than to England cos we don't have any AM as good as he is . What dya think?

[john12]

Not only was he a loss, but, I think his possibly our biggest ever loss to England. Him or Ross Barkley are our biggest ever loss to England. You cannot use euros as an example to attest England failure because English problems is strictly coaching

[Sir V]

Those players are no big loss to England. What have we done with those players who won the U-17 tournaments?.

[kalani JR]

It's not a loss when he never had him to begin with.

[Cristao II]

He is just 20.

[felarey]

I guess the question makes sense if you're basing it on Euros. Don't think you'd ask the same if you watched Spurs this past season. We're taking this England failure too far, even they had 3 decent games before the meltdown, now people wanna use that horror to define all things English i.e. EPL, players etc. it's silly if you ask me. Same team played Wales off the park.

Indeed, especially that left back that was better than Alaba, what have we done with him? Or is it what has he done with us?

[brigadoon]

Dele Alli is quality. Trouble is they had a crap coach who couldn't use his players properly. Dude didn't even know his best team after all this time.

Yep, the Dele Alli and Harry Kane package was the best gift given to Roy by Pocchettino. Instead he took the package apart and misused them.

[ohenhen1]

He is okay. Nigeria have Kelechi Nwakilli and others coming through the pipelines. We will be okay.

[olu]

Yes. He was a big loss

...we love 'em to be from oyinbo land, born and raised and trained.
Has always been same way for everything Nigerian football. See the thieves searching for a coach.

Bros they did not play Wales off the park,they were even lucky to win that game.Wales show them too much respect even going a goal up

[okidoki]

Definitely a loss.

[mmeny]

We never had him to start with if you look at it from that perspective but I think it is still a loss for us. Players perform different roles in different teams and set up and that affects their confidence.

[aykwes8]

How can u lose u never had? Like ghana folks saying they lost Jerome Boateng

[paj]

how do U lose something that was never yours?

...well..his twin could have dragged him along

[Eaglezbeak]

He and Ross Barkely where never going to play for Nigeria anyway

[Akure4Life]

Dele Ali is quality if you look at him from a English premier league point of view.

I remember telling m friends Dele is not all that.

Dele and Kane were found out at the European championship

[theYemster]

You can lose something that could've been yours.

So just this Championship determined that these guys are no good? More power to such analysis.
